It's a fact. Historians can't be objective.

One persons bad guy is another persons hero.

When people study/explore/teach history what they learn is shaped by the society they live in.

Ofcourse historians are biased. Everyone is biased one way or another, that includes you and me.

I wouldn't agree on "ethnocentric".

They are definitely ethnocentric for the most part.

I'm sure historians in Mongolia view Genghis Khan as a hero.

The only people celebrating the vikings are Scandinavians. etc. etc.

According to the grademiners reviews you can discuss all the issues of the world. It's your choice to discuss different issues. You can also discuss about the world politics and the current events from which you can make your environment better and clear all the ideas in your mind.
